The crash had happened between Merrington and Old Woods at Bomere Heath, near Shrewsbury, at around 8am on Tuesday.

Initial reports from GHA Coaches had said that the driver had been taking evasive action to avoid an oncoming car.

However, a number of passengers have disputed the claim.

Stephen Bryce, general manager of GHA Coaches, said he had received conflicting reports over what had taken place and that the driver had been suspended and would not return to the road until his driving had been assessed.

Police have now confirmed that they are investigating the circumstances and cause of the crash.
